HOW TO ATTRACT THE BEST TALENT FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
Employees drive success to one’s business. But how do we make sure we are attracting the best talents?
Every organization wants to hire employees to drive business success. But nowadays, attracting top talent requires far more than a job advert. Companies have to actively target the right candidates, promote positions through various outlets, and capitalize on their marketing efforts to stand out among a surplus of great job opportunities
1. Be Clear on What You Want
What “top talent” means for you will be different than what it means for other companies. It’s about skills, qualifications and other qualities. If you run a restaurant business, your top candidate might be “multi-tasker and has a positive personality”, if you are bringing an office manager for a Salon, person must have the knowledge and experiences in working in the beauty industry. It is important to get job postings and job descriptions right. Creating the job descriptions to appeal to your ideal candidates is somewhat crucial. But at the end of the day, transparency is key.
2. Use the Right Channel & Search in the Right Places
After being clear and concise in your definition of “top talent” you have to know where to look for it and what channels are necessary to use. If you’re seeking a recent graduate, you’ll want to contact local universities or colleges. LinkedIn can be a great source for a wide range of professionals. Depending on who you’re looking for, you may need to try different channels. For example LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor etc.
3. Create an Accurate and Authentic Employer Brand
Develop and communicate the employer’s value proposition, reflecting the company’s culture, values, mission, and vision. Use this message consistently and across all communication channels with authenticity and accuracy of the information.
The employer’s brand defines the company culture, represented by the team and work. It will show future employees what it’s like to work for you and why they should stick around for the long term once they’re through the door
4. Make Your Works and Projects Interesting
Although it is not always doable, try to create with projects and vacancies that people will find engaging, fulfilling, and challenging. There must always be an edge to every opportunity you are offering. Add details about their benefits and what to look forward positively in the job and responsibilities that they would perform.
5. Tailor Your Message to the Candidate
In the interview, be sure to listen for what they’re looking for career-wise. Top performers don’t just want a job—they usually have career goals of their own and want to know how you can help them achieve their objectives.
Again, authentic is the key, don’t hesitate to promote what your company has to offer and cannot achieve. It is pointless in promising something your company can’t provide, because they’ll find out sooner or later and may choose to move on unexpectedly.
In summary, hiring the best talent can have a significant impact on your business's success and growth. It's important to create an attractive job description, cast a wide net, screen resumes, conduct thorough interviews and pay attention to culture fit, among others.
